About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
Thanks to the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of move-
ment in your own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby
Digital. With analog and digital TV you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx or Onkyo’s own DSP surround listening modes.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK L/R terminal posts
can be used with front speakers and surround back
speakers respectively, or bi-amped to provide separate
tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that
support bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble
performance.
• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver/AV ampli-
fier is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main
room.
• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts con-
nect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals. And the
SURR BACK L/R terminal posts connect to the front
speakers’ woofer terminals.
• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections
shown below and turned on the AV receiver/AV
amplifier, you must set the Speaker Type setting to Bi-
Amp to enable biamping (see page 51). Low range

Which Connections Should I Use?

The AV receiver/AV amplifier supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equip-
ment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following
sections as a guide.
For video components, you must make two connections—one for audio, one for video.
Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier by using any one of the following video connection
formats:
composite video, S-Video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
The AV receiver/AV amplifier can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the HDMI Monitor
setting, which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI
output.
■ HDMI Monitor Setting Set to Yes
With the HDMI Monitor setting set to Yes (see
DVD player, etc. Video Signal Flow Chart
page 47), video input signals flow through the
AV receiver/AV amplifier as shown, with com-
posite video, S-Video, and component video
sources all being upconverted for the HDMI out- Composite S-Video Component HDMI

Connecting Components with HDMI

About HDMI
Designed to meet the demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface
standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several
separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry
control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and
multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)*1, so TVs and displays
with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and
displays, resulting in no picture.)
The AV receiver/AV amplifier uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible
components can display the picture.
The AV receiver/AV amplifier’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:

High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Informational Version 1.3a
Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz)
• Bitstream (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD
Master Audio)
Your DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.
About Copyright Protection

The AV receiver/AV amplifier supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, a copy-protection sys-
tem for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier via HDMI must also support
HDCP.
Commercially available HDMI cables (supplied with some components) should be used to connect the AV receiver/AV
amplifier’s HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in 1999.
*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to
protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open
industry group’s objective is to address the industry's requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and
digital displays.
34
Making HDMI Connections
Step 1: Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD
player, TV, projector, and so on.
Step 2: Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 48).
■ Video Signals
Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT for display on your TV.
Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output. See “Video Con-
nection Formats” on page 24 for more information.
■ Audio Signals
Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV
receiver/AV amplifier. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the HDMI Audio Out setting is set to
On (see page 84).
Note:
When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver/AV amplifier, set the HDMI component so that its
video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV
receiver/AV amplifier). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from
the AV receiver/AV amplifier or the sound may be cut off.
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the HDMI Audio
Hint! Out setting to On (see page 84), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel
surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With
this setting, you can specify by how much the front left
and right channel output is attenuated in order to create
the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default
is 2). This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers
are connected.
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when
the listening position is considerably off center. When
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-
ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.
